How do I remove an outline from a shape in Photoshop?

Published in Photoshop Graphics 2 mins read

To remove the outline (stroke) from a shape in Photoshop, select the shape layer and then, in the Options Bar at the top of the screen, click on the Stroke option and choose "None."

Here's a more detailed explanation:

  1. Select the Shape Layer: In the Layers panel, click on the layer that contains the shape you want to modify.

  2. Access the Stroke Options: With the shape layer selected, look at the Options Bar at the top of the Photoshop window (this bar changes based on the tool you have selected). Ensure a Shape tool is selected (e.g., Rectangle Tool, Ellipse Tool). You should see a Stroke option. It might display a color and size representing the current stroke settings.

  3. Choose "None" for Stroke: Click on the Stroke option in the Options Bar. A dropdown menu will appear, usually showing color swatches, gradients, and patterns. At the very top of this dropdown, you will find a white box with a red diagonal line through it. This represents "No Color" or "None". Click this.

By selecting "None," you effectively remove the outline from your shape. The shape will retain its fill color, but the stroke will be gone.
